I had my predictions for who dunnit. I finished it in a single sitting.
I just don't think plot-driven murder mysteries with a huge ensemble cast are my thing. I prefer character-driven development and I really want to care about the fate of the people I'm spending time with.
It was an easy read, but not super satisfying.

WOW! What a great introduction to Agatha Christie. In 'And Then There Were None' we follow a group of ten strangers who all get invited to Soldier Island by someone they believe to know. Our group has been invited to this secluded island by Mrs. and Mr. U.N. Owen, and quickly realize that things aren't what they seem. During their first night, a recording is played accusing them of their crimes tt they have committed - of course, they all deny the accusation but suspicions have been raised.
I loved how the killings started immediately, I can't stand when a book has this premise but you don't get any real mystery until halfway through. I also loved the poem that was included about the ten little soldiers and how it foreshadows all of the deaths - this clearly was a well planned out mystery. Whenever I thought I had the "big reveal" figured out, I was wrong! This truly kept me on my toes and kept me guessing until the very end when all is revealed.
I enjoyed how tense this book made me feel, it always kept me guessing as to who would be next. I will admit that I had a hard time following at first as this book is mainly written in dialogue and since we had a grand group of guests it was hard to follow who was who. As the book progressed (for obvious reasons), it was easier to grasp who was left.
